Joe,
I've been assuming that you are running the VNC session through an ssh
encrypted tunnel, and that ssh-agent on the _viewer_ machine that you are
using to store your passwords isn't closing properly (although thinking a
bit harder, you wouldn't want it to close on the viewer machine until you
log off there). If it's ssh-agent on the on the _server_ that is causing a
problem, then it may be because X is starting ssh-agent when it starts, but
not closing it when it exits. In that case, you need to check your scripts
that run when X closes.

Subject: Re: SSh-agent not dying after vnc viewer
exit/logoff/logout/disconnect
On my system, I am using xinetd following the vnc mail list example.
So,
When is the ssh getting call when a vnc session starts?
How to I set up a script or set the ssh session to die after a short
time (say 60 secs)?
Thank you
Joe

Ssh clients hold the connection open so long as there is something

in this case a forwarded port. There's no way that the client could

without causing the forwarded port to close, too.
James,
That's the point! You initiate the ssh session, with a shell/script
that will just exit after, say, 60 seconds. In the mean time you set
up the tunnelled VNC session. The ssh session exits when the time is
up, but is held open by the open tunnelled port(s). Then when you do
close the VNC session, the ssh session closes too because there is now
nothing to keep it open, which is what I thought was wanted.
